Like Young

(album: For The Young At Heart - 1961)

I'm out doing the usual places,
And I'm living it, like young!
Then I dig me this face of all faces,
She's the craziest, like young!

She drinks coffee at Café Espresso,
She reads Kerouac, like young!
She goes where all the angry young men go,
Recites poetry, like young!

We start blowing the pad about loving
And we're homing it, like now!
We spin records on cloud number seven,
And she's reaching me, like wow!

(He's all unstrung,
'Cause man, she's got him feeling like young!
If she were to frosh him and go,
He's starting to wear his hair again,
Just like a square again!)

I keep a getting' the kookiest notion.
I think maybe it's like love!
I've been feeling a crazy emotion,
I think baby, it's like love!

Now we're riding a rainbow to Cloudsville,
And we're making it like young!
Love... soft as April snow!
Love... warm as candle glow!
Love... love is easy go!

Now we're riding a rainbow to Cloudsville,
And we're making it like young!
